Behar. Its life-history is elsewhere described (Indian Insect Pests, 
p. 100). Another Sphenoptera is a serious enemy to groundnut (Ara- 
chis hypogea), the larvae boring in the underground rootstock. It is 
abundant in South India. Belionota prasina Thunb., is found boring 
in guava and mango trunks and is found commonly. It is a very dark 
metallic blue-black, the pronotum with a lateral indentation and red 
blotch, the elytra with four fine longitudinal ridges.

Kerremanns lists nearly 1,100 species of Agrilus , 38 of which are 
Indian. A species that is probably A. grisator, Kerr., has been reared 
from lemon trees and another species breeds in the same plant. They 
are small linear beetles of varied colouring. 
Finally, we have the still smaller, more oval forms included in 
Trachys , 41 out of 260 of which Kerremanns records as Indian. So 
far as is known, the larvae of these beetles are leaf miners and one 
has been reared from the leaves of Jute, another from Beal. Several 
species are common.
